Homemade Potato Wedges
Description
The Homemade Potato Wedges are prepared by cutting unpeeled russet potatoes into half-inch thick wedges, then dipping them into beaten egg followed by a seasoned flour mixture containing garlic salt, pepper, celery salt, and regular salt. This coating creates a flavorful, crisp outer layer when deep-fried in vegetable oil heated to 375°F. The frying time is about 5 to 7 minutes until the wedges are golden brown.
The careful balance of coating and oil temperature results in wedges that are crispy on the outside while remaining tender inside. Using unpeeled potatoes adds texture and nutrients to the wedges. The recipe offers flexibility with serving options like ranch dressing, sour cream, or ketchup according to taste.
Attention to details such as shaking excess flour helps prevent the coating from burning, and frying immediately after coating preserves the appearance and flavor. These practical tips help cooks achieve the intended crispiness and appealing look for the wedges.

Notes
